"would you consider it anti-semitic for roads to be built that Jews were not allowed to travel on but Arabs were"? — Baden

i was talking about muslim on muslim oppression which is considered so pervasive in the west (and not without reason) that we just don't talk about it because we just don't care. it's not nearly as exciting as an ethnic struggle! — BitconnectCarlos
Fact is you don't have an ethicial leg to stand on. If Arabs insituted a state that kept Jews in an open air prison that they regularly bombed and built roads especially for Arabs that Jews weren't allowed travel on, you, us, and the rest of the world would be rightly outraged. That you think this should be fine when it's done to Muslims makes you, at the very least, a bigot. — Baden
